This beautiful, delicate tea has been bitten by the green leaf hopper early enough in the season to create the sensual sweet honey notes that the name implies. These teas need to be grown in an organic environment to allow the bugs freedom to bite the young tea buds to produce this classic tea. The east coast of Taiwan consistently produces the best of the best Honey Fragrance Black Tea and our partner farm is famous for its consistent wins in the annual tea competitions.
Like all our teas, there are no added flavors, colors or chemicals in this tea. All flavors are completely natural and chemical-free!
